Bloom Festival

The second annual Bloom Festival returns to Shippensburg, PA on Saturday, May 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Festival is presented by the Shippensburg Area Chamber of Commerce and takes place in downtown Shippensburg in the Borough parking lot, across from the Shippensburg Police Department. Shippensburg will come alive with flowers, food, music, children’s activities, and a variety of retail and craft vendors, all signifying the arrival of one of the most breath-taking seasons of the year… springtime! This event is free and open to the public, although certain vendors may charge a nominal fee for activities. The event will be held rain or shine, and the children’s area will close at 2 PM. A sidewalk chalk art contest will be hosted by D.O.I.T. from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. in tandem with the Bloom Festival, and is open to children, artists and artist groups. For additional information about the Bloom Festival, contact the Shippensburg Area Chamber of Commerce by emailing chamber@shippensburg.org or by calling (717) 532-5509.
